months in Jail in each case. An appeal

NEWBERRY, 5. C,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1887.
THE OTHER SIDE"

We invite attention to an article
on the first page Of this paper
on the agricultural college question.
Most of the discussion so far has
been to show the Importance OF,
and the advantages to be derived
from. the establishment of an agrl-
cultural college. In fact the farmers
as 3 rule seem to have been carried
with the tide, and if one dares to
suggest that possibly there might be
two sides to this question: he is put
down as an enemy to the farmer,
and friend of the lawyer and so on.
We desire our people to take time to
consider this thing. and give the
matter proper thought, snd the only
way properly to do this is to view the
disadvantages, as well as the advan-
tages of such an institution. 1t IS a
matter of some Importance, and one
that should be discussed, and dis
eussed in the proper spirit. AS We
have said Oh former occasions, we do
not believe it would be a wise ex-
penditure of money at this time, to
establish such an institution, because
we think the money necessary could
be more wisely and judiciouSly ex-
pended, and expended where it
it would do more good. We do not
believe it will heal the wounds that
are now bleeding. 1t will accom-
plish good. No one can successfully
DENY that. Bat We think it can be
shown that the same money appro.
priated differently can be made reach
more of our people and accomplish
vast deal more.
Good seasons, energy and manure
and we will generally have good
crops. Then give our boys and girls,
who are to become farmers and farm.
ers' wives, a good common school
education, and they will make good
citizens and prosperous farmers. One
OF the greatest needs among our
farmers, is for them to pay more at
tention to the improvement OF their
farms, and the making of their homes
attractive. This could be done with.
out an agricultural college and at
very little expense and outlay of time
and money, and it would have ten
dency to make the boys and girls as
they grow up on the farms more ready
and willing to remain there. These
things are sadly neglected in many
of our country homes. 1t should
not be thus.

Prohibition in the shape Of what is
known as the Murray bill' has met
a signal defeat in Anderson and
Laurens Counties. In Anderson the
majority was very large. In Lau-
rens it was smaller.
Intemperance no doubt is very
great evil, but We have never thought
the cure for the whiskey evil was to be
found in special legislation and the
mixing of politics. You cannot
make people moral by legislation,
neither can YOU make them temperate
by it. You must educate healthy
public sentiment to condemn the use
of whiskey and the whiskey traffic in
unmistakable terms, before you can
expect to eradicate the evils of
whiskey.
Is that the case now? Not by
any means. The man who drinks
is thought just as much of as
the man who never touches it. We
mean Of course men who have tue
same financial rating. Public senti'
ment must change before the evils of
intemperance can be reached. In
temperance is question that should
be fought outside Of politics and leg
islation. 1t can be reached outside
of these and in our opinion that is
the only efectual way to do it.

We attended the picnic Of the
St. Luke farmers club On last Thurs
Gay. Our Prosperity correspondent
gives US full account Of the pro-
ceedings, yet we cannot refrain an
observation or two also. Good au-
diences and large crowds are pro-
verbal on such occasions in this Sec
tion, and this occasion was no
exception. This section of country is
q white mans country, truly. We
think we saw only one negro man
there during the day.
The farmers IS rule are prosper.
Gus and we'll to do. Tie country is
rocky and rough but produces we'll all
the same. Mr.. R. T. G. Hunter
seemed to be the moving spirit OF the
day. The people seemed to have
come out to hear the speaking and
gave excellent attention. The ladies'
were out in full force and heard the
speaking through also. The grove is
a nice one, and the programme was
well arranged.
The farmers Of this section hold
their club meetings regularly, and
discuss questions of practical impor-
tance and interest to their work. and
do not need any mixture of politics to
keep them together. Such an organ
ization every community ought to
have, and then every farmer could
get the benefit of his neighbor's ex-
perience. And then it would excite
3 certain amount Of rivalry and pride
iu the work of farming. Every farmer
in every community could be reached
in this way. 1t is an experimental
station tor every community.
The questions discussed in the
afternoon, as will he seen, were
questions of practical import to
every farmer, and we have no doubt
that all who were present were bene-
fitted by this discussion. We feel
slad that We attended this picnic,
and we wish the farmers of every
section of our county kept up such
an organization as they have here.
These gatherings and discussions
help to develop the talent among
the farmers in many ways. St. Luke's
can not only boast of her good farm
ers, but she is not behind some other
sections We know in the beauty and
lcveliness of her young ladies.
